Jeff began his outdoor building career in 1980 and had established his landscape design/build
business here in the Valley.

His interest in building began in high school when he worked for Harvard University's Black Rock Forest in Cornwall, New York.
His participation in the construction of vistas, foot trails and bridges gave him experience operating heavy equipment and
testing trees and shrubs for long-range growth and adaptability. From there, he was hooked...

Jeff went on to study horticulture at the Ohio State University, where he earned his bachelors degree in 1974. He later attended
both Arizona State University for landscape architecture and Harvard University's Graduate School of Design. By the mid
1980's, Jeff's work had evolved from traditional landscaping into more comprehensive outdoor building.

Jeff continues to advance and update his knowledge by participating in various University of Arizona extension courses, as well
as by attending industry conferences and seminars. He has toured the great gardens of France and Italy, numerous National
trust and private gardens in the United Kingdom. Jeff's work has been influenced by the styles of Thomas Church, Luis
Barragan, Jot Carpenter, Bill Larsen and the art and color of Rufino Tamayo.

Jeff now specializes in the Design and Project Management of complete outdoor living spaces -- building everything on the
outside.

Jeff has lived in the Cave Creek Foothills since 1980 with his wife, Barbara.
